Well, it's Father's Day. Again.

I'm a history nerd and once made my bank PIN the year the French Revolution began and let me tell you, that's not actually a good bank PIN

When we learn about Juneteenth, few people ever read the actual announcement. This is General Order No. 3 with annotations about the significance. What stands out to you most in the actual order? #Juneteenth

Some doodles from this afternoon

2003 was the summer I moved to France. The PNW was also experiencing a heatwave that year, so we left one for another. No reprieve for weeks and weeks. The air was still and dead and just oppressively hot, radiating off all the pavement and concrete buildings. 1/

This really hits all the highlights

Time to bring this out again

This is a good thread

I was not prepared to start sprouting white eyebrow hairs

Ok it’s #5MinArt time and today let’s draw a BALL OF YARN! Post it here when you’re done if you want, all mediums and skill levels welcome!

Frog giving a surprise

🐀WE HAVE A GAME!!! 🐀 It's an amazing puzzle game based on the food and treats the heroRATs eat for Full Cheek Friday with an online high scoreboard! Can you get number one? 😏 Feel free to play and share with your communities to raise awareness! callmemonamiral.itch.io/full-cheek-f...

According to an authoritative new study on confirmation bias, your side has been absolutely right all along and everyone who disagrees with you is stupid.

West Coast, if you have the Libby app, they have unlimited copies of George Takei's memoir!

When my brother and I were quite small (5 and 3?), he learned to whistle. I could not. So, being the helpful (jealous) big sister, I told him that he was doing it wrong and that REAL whistling was simply going, "Hoooo hoo hooo" melodically. He did that for years until someone asked him why...

The 12yr old is so happy because his 16yr old brother surprised him with his favorite Traveling Wilburys album

This is stunning

I really felt this at work yesterday

Time to leave for work already??

I was recently made aware that May is Ehlers-Danlos Awareness Month (heh). I've been taking my second daughter (the 18yr old) to doctors her entire life trying to figure out the cause for her various, seemingly-unrelated, ailments, and it has only been in the past year or so that we heard about EDS

Making an absolute disaster of myself at Taco Bell like I've never eaten a taco before

Christians, not every consequence is persecution. Sometimes people are just tired of your ish.

BREAKING: KARS 4KIDS has changed their jingle! The good news is that it's not an ear worm anymore. I've heard it twice and can't remember how it goes at all! The bad news is it may still activate the old one for you. Be cautious ⚠️

Last night, my 18yr old took me to see Phantom for my birthday (been waiting since October)! This cast is SO good!

Mother's Day post-divorce is kinda weird. I get the kids from 9-5 (if they're not already with me that weekend). So rather than it being a relaxing (supposedly) day for me, it's more like trying to entertain them for several hours. But! We enjoy each other, so it was a good day.

A poem and a few drawings for today. I don't have any mother's day poems per se, so instead I'm just going with one that I like a great deal, with a fun rhyme structure.

Can we save some of these cruise ship outbreaks for when my ex goes on his honeymoon in July? 😁

Bravo! 😂

I got to pet a corgi puppy tonight 😍

The cheap gas is $5.39 😫

I never get enough tea on vacation

I'm probably be sick later, but for right now it was worth it

I have to use references otherwise every hand I draw will turn out looking like a bag of worms

You've probably been wondering: "How many eels is a cottage worth in 14th C. England?" This is a reasonable question. I get it. And happily, I'm here to help! I included a chart showing this kind of equivalence in an article I wrote for HistoryExtra , but here's an excerpt! 🗃️🧪

Does grenouille love her job? No.

When a snail takes a journey across the sidewalk, does it have a plan?

I had a dream last night that under my apartment building there was a secret treasure trove of abandoned stuff collected when tenants left. Home decor, electronics, music equipment, stationery, and more. But what I scampered away with was a garden statue of a snail with a gnome head! Glorious.

R.I.P.

Daily bunny no.3292 knows some froggy music

I want a French work schedule

These tracks run right along the yard of my childhood house! I've walked them many miles

I was not allowed to dress up for Halloween and absolutely no trick-or-treating I could not call boys on the phone because that was "too forward;" they had to call me Couldn't listen to current secular music because it was "poison" so I grew up on Oldies (definitely no sex or drugs there 😂)

Do not enjoy being in the branch group text begging for someone to work tomorrow. I'm a teller, this is not an on-call position. Also, IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT. Get outta here with that.

Friends...I realized this week that the contact form on my website had stopped sending inquiries to me. Curses all around. So if you reached out about a map or a piece of artwork recently & I didn't get back to you...that's why. Apologies. It's fixed now, so if you need maps and such, let me know!

Someone asked why I am doing this. I teach in a state that didn't pass a budget for education. My classroom library is full of outdated & damaged books. I am trying to create a library that kids will want to read the books from, that represent them.

Happy Easter!
